So in class, we've discussed what I expect from you, but what do you expect from me or from the class? Put your ideas for rules that you'd like to have in the class in this section. Think about rules concerning homework, quizzes, tests, notes, discipline, format, and other classroom issues. Remember to be reasonable. Things like "no homework, ever" or "Mr. Syracuse must do the chicken dance before each class" just aren't 'going to fly. Thanks for trying, though.
When you are editing this page, please don't be disrespectful to other people's posts. You can change rules that are already listed, add your own, or delete one if you want to. Make sure you put it in the right category, or create a new one if you need to. At the end of the editing period, hopefully we'll have a list of rules that everyone in the class can agree upon. Remember, Mr. Syracuse reserves final veto power on all rules.
